Patel's girlfriend, country music singer Alexis Wilkins, has sued the news outlet MS NOW for defamation after it published a story last year that claimed the director used bureau resources to escort one of her drunk friends home. The article, published in December, claimed Patel told Wilkins' security detail to “escort one of her allegedly inebriated friends home after a night of partying in Nashville.” The story was based on three anonymous sources and the FBI has denied the allegation.
